Energy<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">At JULIPEDRA, the modernisation of the industrial plant was accompanied by a strategic investment in energy production from renewable sources. Through the installation of a production unit for self-consumption (UPAC), based on photovoltaic technology, a significant portion of its energy needs is met in a clean and autonomous way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Carbon Footprint Reduction<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The commitment to the energy transition allows for a direct reduction in CO2 emissions, aligning the natural stone transformation with global decarbonisation targets.

This approach not only minimises dependence on external grids, but also ensures that the lifecycle of every product, from extraction at the quarry to final dispatch, goes through increasingly sustainable processes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_5 et_pb_row et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_6 et_pb_column et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_12_24 et_flex_column_12_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_heading_1 et_pb_heading et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_heading_container\"><h1 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Reforestation<\/h1><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_4 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module preset--group--divi-text--divi-font-body--default preset--group--divi-text--divi-font-body--h19rs5u--default preset--group--divi-text--divi-font-body--h1yjkjr--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p class=\"p1\"><b>Commitment to biodiversity and reforestation<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Extractive activity is accompanied by an unwavering commitment to returning and regenerating the land. For JULIPEDRA, natural stone quarrying is a temporary use of the soil, which is why the planning of each extraction unit integrates, right from its inception, a rigorous landscape recovery and reforestation plan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\n<p class=\"p1\">The core objective is the mitigation of visual impact and the promotion of local biodiversity. Through land modelling and the planting of native species, areas where extraction is completed are transformed into new green spaces capable of sustaining native fauna and flora. This active reforestation process not only stabilises the soils, but also contributes to carbon sequestration and the preservation of the region's water resources.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\n<p class=\"p1\">Investment in environmental rehabilitation ensures that the company's legacy is not limited to transformed stone, but extends to the vitality of the landscapes of Rio Maior and Alcoba\u00e7a. By harmonising industrial production with the regeneration of nature, JULIPEDRA reaffirms its role as a responsible agent in the management of the natural heritage of the Estremadura Limestone Massif.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_7 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_12_24 et_flex_column_12_24_tablet
